The earliest testimony of the presence of

man in the territory of Castropignano dates

back to the Bronze Age (1200 BC) ; consist

of fragments of ceramic, found in the area

of Castello D’Evoli. Near the “ Canton of

fairy” , however , fall into megalithic walls

( 4 th century BC ) in the period when the

Sannites fought against the Romans ,

remaining defeated after three wars.

On the facade of the chapel Santa Lucia , on

the other hand, there is a stone slab on

which the litter bundles are carved.

THE LEGEND OF “THE BEAUTIFUL FAIRY”

Long time ago lived in

Castropignano a beautiful

girl, nicknamed “The

beautiful faity”. She was in

love with a farmer called

Antonio; the two had

decided to get married.

Castropignano commanded a

Duke and was in effect the

low of the “IUS PRIMAE

NOCTIS”. The bride had to

spend the first night with the

Duke. The beautiful fairy escaped and, to

avoid being taken to the castle, she threw

herself from the rock near the castle calling

“Antonio.” Since then the rock is called

canton of fairy. It is said that, on full moon

nights you can

see the white

shadow fairy

who calls on

the name of

her lover.
